SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MID-PROCESSING CALCULATION OF BLOOD COMPOSITION

摘要

Blood separation methods and systems are provided for mid-processing calculation of blood composition. Blood is conveyed into a device having an outlet line and the device is spun to separate a blood component from the blood. A flow of blood component is conveyed from the device by the outlet line and the blood component in the outlet line is optically measured. With said optical measurement, a current blood component yield, a blood component pre-count, the volume of blood to process to collect a target amount of said blood component, and/or the processing time required to collect a target amount of said blood component is calculated. The optical measurement can also be used to calculate an amount of storage fluid to convey into a collection container with the blood component.
